LSU Hospital to retain 49 graduates as residents
LSU Medical Center anticipates that 65 new medi-cal
graduates will be joining its house officers staff on
July 1 for their first year of residency training.
Of that number 49 would be 1982 graduates of LSU
School of Medicine who have chosen to take their first-year
residency at LSU Hospital, said Dr. John H. Allen
of the LSUMC information office.
The other 16 would be graduates of the medical
schools of the University of Arkansas, University of
Texas, Texas A&M, University of South Alabama, and
Medical College of Virginia.
These are residency candidates under the National
Resident Matching Program which matches new
medical graduates with hospitals having resident
training programs.
It is through the National Resident Matching Pro-gram
primarily that senior medical students indicate
their choice of hospital for first-year residency follow-ing
their graduation from medical school.
Dean Perry G. Rigby said LSU Medical Center is
pleased with this year's match.
He said it indicates that half of the 1982 graduating
class of LSU School of Medicine is staying here for
first-year postgraduate training, "and that's good
news for us." The other half has been accepted by
other medical schools around the country, "and that
reflects our reputation as a teaching institution."
LSU School of Medicine expects to confer 98 medi-cal
degrees in graduation exercises on May 29.
Rigby said this match would fill residency positions
in 17 specialties (the most in internal medicine) and
would bring the house officers staff up to 201, the
highest yet at LSU Hospital,
